After spending three hours in a demon-filled hellscape in 'Doom Eternal,' I want to go back to the fiery depths as soon as possible. Read our latest gameplay impressions.
On 1/21/20 at 10:49 AM ESTDOOM Eternal is the high-action, FPS game you've been waiting years to play. The release of the 2016 DOOM reboot by id Software proved that a well-tuned engine and an endless horde of demons to slay make for an incredibly engaging experience. Given such praise, its 2020 sequel had a lot to live up to, with developers promising an epic story, new weapons and a wide array of ways to deal with the scourge plaguing our planet.
Players don't start the game with a full arsenal of weapons or abilities. Instead you slowly earn them as you progress throughout the campaign. This is an absolutely amazing addition considering how massive your arsenal becomes after just a few levels. When thrown into the E3 demo from earlier this year, I found myself overwhelmed by the varied weapons, dashes and abilities necessary to carve your way to victory.
And there are a lot of new mechanics in this sequel. To get health you perform glory kills, which change in action depending on the direction you're facing when pressing the desired button. To get ammo you'll need to chainsaw enemies, and you only have a finite amount of fuel before you're out of juice. Armor requires Flame Belch flamethrower demons, which drop small packs with damage over time and yield more armor if you manage to kill said demon.
There's still so much to drool over; from detailed demon-kill animations to the horrifying levels you'll need to make your way through. But you'll have to wait to experience it just like the rest of us.
